| Solid State Amp for Usher Be-718 You'll never use that much power,in your size room w/o losing your hearing.But,I understand the need for a little headroom on wattage. | |
| $1k preamp for McCormack DNA-125 recommendations? Are you running analog sources too? If not,the Z-Systems RDP/RDQ units are very good and run between $800-1700.These accept several digital inputs, with volume and parametric EQ in the digital domain. | |
| Experience with FREDs in a tube amp PS I've had a few units that have been upgraded in this fashion.It always seemed to help the amplifiers disappear better,with no drawbacks.Never done it myself,usually done by the manufacturer. | |

| Best Big Sub? or duals? Parts-Express has the Titanic subs and a few of them use the Dayton Reference drivers.These probably aren't necessary ,due to being used strictly for HT.I use 2 subs,each with two of the Reference 10" and the IB woofers for LFE.They have on sale t... | |

| Amp and Pre to match Wilson W/P 8 and others First Sound Deluxe MKII pre and the VAC Ren 70/70 MKII/III.Great combo with the WPs and won't break the bank.May even allow an analog rig earlier than you think. | |
| Integrated amp for efficient speakers Heavily 2nd the PL2-great unit! | |
